Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Yu Zhe had to admit that Little Lychee, this little airhead, was truly beyond his expectations.

"Oh my god?! Brother Yuzhe? What are you doing squatting here?"

"Ok?"

Yu Zhe looked up and saw Xiao Lizhi standing next to him with a tray.

Seeing Yu Zhe there, he put down the tray and squatted down to check on Yu Zhe's condition.

eh?

So the drinks cabinet was the row of shelves where I was hiding?

"It's nothing." Yu Zhe suppressed his surprised smile and asked only one question, "Little Lizhi, why did you just run away when that person asked you to dance?"

"No, I refused politely. Hmm...did I...do something wrong?"

Pfft... Is that what you call a rejection? Young Master Cheng was completely dumbfounded.

Yu Zhe continued, "No, no, no, you did the right thing! I just wanted to ask, you see a lot of people dancing over there, and someone invited you to dance just now, didn't you want to dance a song?"

Little Lychee looked surprised.

She thought for a moment, or perhaps not at all, before answering with her simple thought process.

"I want to dance, but I only want to dance with Brother Yu Zhe. If it's not with Brother Yu Zhe, then I don't want to."

"Hmph, Miss Ouyang, after we finish the cake, would you like to dance with me? If so, it would be my honor."

Yu Zhe studied what Young Master Cheng had just said, but this time Little Lychee's answer was completely different.

She was smiling happily.

"Yes! I do!"

56. The so-called balance

As a result, the dance didn't happen today.

It wasn't that Yu Zhe didn't want to, nor that he wanted to break his promise; it was simply that... the other girls wouldn't allow it.

It's not that it's forbidden. They said it's okay, you can dance if you want, but if you dance with Xiaolizhi, you have to dance with each of the other people once.

No favoritism allowed.

That would take so long!

The Su Group suffers huge losses every minute it lacks a decision-making team... Well, that's just an excuse.

Yu Zhe doesn't care about money at all; he's basically never touched money, which is only a secondary reason.

Mainly...

He doesn't have the stamina!

I have to dance with each of you, and each of you will dance a different one. With all that jumping and hopping, how can my little arms and legs handle it?!

Forget it, isn't a soft, cozy bed nice enough? I'll go to the company and help Yuche with some work, then I'll go home and sleep.

then.

The main gate of the Ouyang family's residence.

Little Lychee hadn't even changed out of her dress when she hurriedly caught up with Yu Zhe and his group as they were leaving to see them off.

.................

Little Lychee stared at Yu Zhe with a slightly regretful look in her eyes; this little fool seemed to have learned to complain too.

Without Yu Zhe saying anything, under the cover of night, Zi Xiao tossed her hair, which was even darker than the night itself, and quite casually made things clear before Xiao Lizhi could complain.

That's right, since we're going to talk about it, and since today is Little Lychee's birthday, we should definitely speak softly and patiently...

"Don't say another word!"

"Waaah..."

Little Lychee, what a pity.

Even though she was the one who got stood up by Yu Zhe, she still had to bear Zi Xiao's anger. It was tough, so tough.

"Honestly, little one, don't feel wronged." Yu Che sighed softly. "Actually, you're already quite good. You're only the second girl to be invited to dance by your brother. Feel honored, right?"

"Hmm... Sister Yuche, you're clearly the little one..."

"What did you say?!"

Seeing that Yu Che was about to jump up and pat Xiao Lizhi's knee, Yu Zhe quickly grabbed her waist, threw her into the back seat of the car, and closed the car door to keep the irritable white-haired loli away.

It's someone's birthday, so please stop patting her on the head!

Little Lizhi, even if you don't know Yu Che's sore spot, don't bring up her shortness just because you see her figure!

Little Lychee realized that she had spoken without thinking again, so she reached out and gently patted her head with her fist as a form of punishment.

Meanwhile, she was curious about another question: "Speaking of which, Sister Yuche just said... I'm the second person Brother Yuzhe invited to dance? Who was the first one?"

"Hmph, it is indeed I."

The person who stepped forward at this moment truly surprised Xiao Lizhi.

The person who walked confidently towards her with his chest out and head held high was none other than Mo Lingyun.

"Ling Yun? Eh... What a surprise, I thought it would be Zi Xiao or Sister Yu Che."

"Uh... Little Lychee, it's time you changed your blunt way of speaking, otherwise, I'm serious, you really won't get any braised pork when we eat at home anymore. I'm not kidding, okay?"

I was wrong!

"Yun'er, stop teasing her." Yu Zhe patted Mo Lingyun's shoulder, indicating that he would speak instead.

"Actually, it's like this." Yu Zhe looked up at the stars in the sky and recalled the details of that time. "I just don't like dancing. Yun'er's situation that time was special. It was at the Mo family's ball when we were little, I think? There was a brat from Cangming City who kept pestering Yun'er to dance with him, just like the situation you encountered today. It's just that the guy was much more shameless than the one just now. He wouldn't leave no matter what I said, so I had to step forward and be a gentleman and dance with Yun'er. It's such a small thing, I'm so glad Yu Zhe remembered it."

"Yes! That's it!" Mo Lingyun's eyes lit up as she thought about it. "That's one of the few happy memories of my childhood. Brother Yuzhe was so handsome back then. That guy slunk away without saying a word. Haha, it feels so good to think about it now!"

Yu Zhe would definitely have intervened at that time, not to mention that he had a subconscious desire to protect Yun'er deep down.

Furthermore, although Yu Zhe just mentioned the "brat from Cangming City," Yu Zhe and Yun'er were actually around seven years old at the time. The "brat" Yu Zhe mentioned looked to be at least a high school student back then.

You're a high school student

Hiring elementary school students to dance is practically pedophilia!

At the time, Yu Zhe simply used some tricks to get rid of him, and also had his bodyguards "punish him a little".

I'm being lenient by not calling the police!

Yu Zheyun still doesn't know the real reason why that person gave up on inviting Mo Lingyun to dance before being punished.

That's because... he saw angels at that time.

Hmm... You can always believe how adorable Yu Zhe was as a child.

Or perhaps that person never thought Yu Zhe was a boy at all, since it was in the neighboring Cangming City, and at that time Yu Zhe was young and not many people knew him.

Seeing this silver-haired angel invite Mo Lingyun, who was a child, to dance together, this person was deeply moved!

Waaah! Watching angels dance with each other is so much more meaningful than inviting angels to dance with you!

Yes, it's a good thing Yu Zhe didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise, there would only be one sentence.

The penalties should be increased, and they should be punished severely!

Little Lychee listened intently, nodding frequently.

Since this happened before she met Brother Yu Zhe, she definitely wanted to know more about it.

“Speaking of which…” Mo Lingyun suddenly realized a blind spot, “Back then, Brother Yu Zhe would always help me out of trouble… Could it be that… Brother Yu Zhe liked me back then?”

"Cough...cough cough! Yun'er? What are you saying?"

Why are you speaking such obvious truths!

You were only seven years old then! Ah, although I was less than eight years old at the time.

Hmm... if that's really the case, even if they're around the same age, wasn't Yu Zhe also a lesbian back then?!

No, no, no! What a bizarre angle! It's utterly inexplicable!

That doesn't make sense either...

While Yu Zhe was lost in a mental fog, Mo Lingyun was truly content.

She cupped her burning cheeks in her hands, contentedly getting into the car driven by Lu Ling and Lu Yao first, and continued discussing the past with Yu Che.

Hehe, this little discovery I just made is so exciting!!

"Haha...Speaking of which, Little Lychee, you are indeed quite enviable." Qi Xinye said meaningfully, "After all, Xiao Zhe has never actually invited a girl to dance, except for the special circumstances I just mentioned."

"Yes! I'm very happy! Although... I didn't manage to jump, I'm still very happy!"

Yu Zhe shrugged helplessly: "It's not a big deal... I'll make it up to you another day. Also, Sister Ye, Zi Xiao, listen to me."

Yu Zhe, your emotional intelligence is exceptionally high.

Listen to what Sister Ye just said; she's clearly a bit resentful. How could I not tell?

It was even more obvious on Zixiao's side.

As soon as the topic of dancing came up, she turned around and kicked a pebble on the side of the road, as if the pebble was Little Lychee herself.

Mom is right... Maintaining balance is truly an art.

However, it is something that should be done, and these words are Yu Zhe's true feelings.

"Little Lychee, Zixiao, Sister Ye, if there's a chance sometime, I'd like to invite you all to dance. Little Lychee already agreed. What about you two? I wonder... hehe, would you do me the honor?"

That day, Yu Zhe saw a brilliance in their eyes that was brighter than the stars in the sky.

Of course, there was also the moment when the car window rolled down, and Yu Che stretched out his arm and shouted, "Me too!"

In addition, there was Yun'er's assertive efforts in the car later on.

What Yu Zhe failed to notice, or... noticed but didn't explain.

Lu Ling and Lu Yao were driving in front. Hearing the lively and intimate conversation in the back seat, the two remained silent and continued driving.

Perhaps the two sisters dream of hearing Yu Zhe extend the same invitation to them...
